I laugh at the fact that a scammed the grocery store out of fifty cents today. Not because I scammed them, but because after I did it I felt guilty. I have the worst conscience in the world, thanks Dad for teaching me some serious morals. I bought a generic "Dr. Perky", a little bag of chips like the ones to pack in lunches, and a mini Haagen-Dazs for a total of $2.01. I'm such a fat-ass and apparently really cheap too. I attemped to pay for the whole purchase in quarters, but I failed to bring enough. After putting a dollar fifty into the self-checkout I realized I only had a dime left. How embarrassing would it be to say you can't afford $2.01! I eventually signaled for help saying I had put in the whole amount but the machine "ate my quarters". They believed it and shut down that self-checkout station. Now I'm paranoid that they will figure out my "scam" and some grocery police are going to ban me from the store. I've had experience with banning before, I'm not proud of it but a couple years ago I thought I would be bad-ass to steal makeup from CVS. I got caught and was banned to return to that location and was on a "warning list" for all the other CVS's in the area. (Because 99 cent eyeliner is a BIG DEAL.) Thankfully they don't recognize me when I go there anymore but that's where the fear of there being a grocery police comes in. Maybe I should just go back and donate fifty cents to those checkout line charities so they won't get suspicious.
